RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Approve advanced step appointment for Election Manager (salary range 488), Nicole Goldbach, in Budget Unit 140 from salary step “B” to salary step “D” effective the pay period immediately following approval. (4/5 Vote Required)
Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
General Fund - Elections (1100-140)
DISCUSSION:
Staff request approval to adjust the salary for Nicole Goldbach, Election Manager, to $42.01, corresponding to Step D, Range 488.
Nicole Goldbach brings to the Office of Elections exceptional experience which she employed in quickly assuming greater responsibilities managing the office during a major election. She oversaw Administrative Analysts, Election Specialists, and seasonal staff in the administration of complex and critically non-reversible election work, where accuracy on the first attempt is paramount.
Furthermore, she has completed coursework in the California Professional Elections Administration Credential (CalPEAC) program which is administered by the California Association of Clerks & Elections Officials. The CalPEAC program is designed to broaden the knowledge base of participants and train them to assume leadership positions in the future.
The Department believes that Nicole’s qualifications and experience are uniquely appropriate for the Office of Elections and this work should be recognized by assigning Nicole Goldbach to Step “D” in the salary range for Election Manager.

The benefits portion of the cost will increase by $767.00 by the end of the Fiscal Year.
